2nd Key Function
The 2nd key is used to activate the 2
nd
functions of the keypad. Printed above many
keys are yellow characters that represent the 2
nd
function of that key. Using the 2
nd
key
activates the second key function. Note that the 2
nd
key only stays active for one
keystroke. Each time you need to use the 2
nd
function you must press the 2
nd
key. To
cancel a 2
nd
function before pressing another key, press the 2
nd
key again. When the
2
nd
function is active, the 2
nd
icon stays on the screen.
For example:
• Full Alpha-Numeric : 2nd plus the I key initiates INSERT mode.
• Numeric-Alpha : 2
nd
plus the SPC key initiates ALT mode.
CTRL Key Function
The CTRL key enables the control functions of the keypad. This function is similar to
a regular keyboard’s Control key. Note that the Ctrl key only stays active for one
keystroke. Each time you need to use a Ctrl function, you need to press the Ctrl key
before pressing the function key. When the Ctrl function is active, the Ctrl icon stays
on the screen.
ALT Key Function
Note: Full alpha-numeric keypad only.
The ALT key enables the alternate functions of the keypad. This function is similar to
a regular keyboard’s Alt key. Note that the Alt key only stays active for one keystroke.
Each time you need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key before
pressing the function key. When the Alt function is active, the Alt icon stays on the
screen.
SHFT Key Function
The Shft key enables the shifted functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a
regular keyboard’s Shift key. Note that the Shift key only stays active for one
keystroke. Each time you need to use a Shifted function, you need to press the Shft
key before pressing the function key. When the Shft function is active, the Shft icon
stays on the screen.
When the Shft key is pressed the next key is determined by the major key legends, i.e.,
the alpha keys display lower case letters when the CAPs key is On and function keys
enable the shifted function key.
SPC Key Function
Note: Numeric-alpha keypad only. SPC is a 2nd function on the full alpha-numeric
keypad.
The Spc key adds a space to the line of data on the display. This function is similar to
a regular keyboard’s Spacebar. Note that the SPC key only stays active for one
keystroke.
